' the new phone looks great, with the bigger screen and improved speed ranking as my personal favorites. Yet, that being said, I haven’t yet seen the kind of mind-melting innovation and improvement that would justify pre-orders 20 times faster than the 4 and 4S'

i know i know, lost cause.. my posts just get deleted.. guess ignorance is bliss

Anonymous, 15 Sep 2012Exactly! Good thing that iPhone is either same price or cheaper than some of the flagship mode... moreim talking about now, not 3/6mths ago...the ip5 starting price is 529 pounds for the 16gb version... besides when other companies released there flagship phones they were actually sporting obvious tech/spec advancements

AnonD-56991, 15 Sep 2012Apple were so obsessed with making it the thinnest Smartphone that they not interested in givi... moreWhat are you on about, did you forget the phone is taller now? Even the leaks showed a longer battery than the iPhone 4S. On top of that they used battery saving chips as well a optimized software, so that now they have a phone that is LTE yet lasts LONGER than iPhone 4S. Simply amazing.

"The integration of the touch sensors into the display itself provides a noticeable reduction in thickness. I wrote when I first saw the iPhone 4 in 2010 — Apple’s first retina display and the first time the company laminated the display to the glass surface, eliminating the thin layer of air between those components — that it looked like pixels on glass rather than pixels under glass. Now, after seeing the new iPhone 5 display, my iPhone 4S display seems as thick as a Coke bottle."

Now if you want to be taken seriously here how about you prove you have an objective mind of your own and give any kind of honest criticism against Apple, and all you have to do is name 1 of the things that Apple deserves criticism for.

AnonD-71738, 15 Sep 2012hahahahaha .. iphone 5 dont have NFC ? 1 GB of Ram like note ii have .. cannot call while usin... moreApple were so obsessed with making it the thinnest Smartphone that they not interested in giving it a bigger battery so customers can have a better phone, and any normal person will accept an extra 0.5mm thickness if the phone becomes more practical but like always with Apple it's style over substance.

Denzo, 15 Sep 2012It has the best CPU in the world. I dont even care what else it does, it has the best OS, thin... moreYeah..got it! So u like to have eaten apple? Here comes new ape(apple)all 5 which used LED Backlight tht is so much backdated as we saw it 1st in Sony Xperia mini(2011). As u said Cortex A9 is so outdated! Haha...and 8mp camera tht can record 1080p video..how funny and we had it already in many devices nw a days! :p

Denzo, 15 Sep 2012It has the best CPU in the world. I dont even care what else it does, it has the best OS, thin... morewhat are you talking about? there isnt any CPU called A15 or A9. iphone 5 has A6, and its clock rate or its number of cores isnt announced to the public. So you cant compare it to galaxy s3 just yet, which has a great cpu, and i doubt iphone's is bette

Anonymous, 15 Sep 2012Inspite of just being jealous and throwing such comments, u should actually do research on it.... moreObviously you did not understand my post...that's because you are too busy convincing yourself that iphone 5 is not crap! hahahaha...I did do research...I was at the apple convention in CA and tested it myself...no need to wait for the review because I tried to play a 3D game and play a video at the same time and iphone 5 closed the 1st app before it opened the second one! hahaha ...IPHONE 5 CANNOT DO REAL-MULTITASKING! it's just like my iphone 4s...with a longer ugly screen! boo!

It's not about the quantity of additional new function throw into the new phone, its about the quality of particle (traditional) function and innovation of add-on(s).

The camera obviously upgraded, CPU does, screen size is just fit, calling quality is improved by its new (bought) noisy cancellation technology, digital connector (lightning) once again will unify the accessory market in the next decade. Just put in mind, mobile phones are limited in size, their battery life is also limited, you wont be able to do that much of function on such handy device, if thats what you demand for, go for a tablet, the New iPad.
